WARNING
AR402234
The laser beam is dangerous and can cause blindness if it enters the eye either directly or reflected from a shiny
surface. Before pressing the RANGE switch (firing the laser), the operator should take adequate precautions to ensure
maximum safety for friendly personnel within 20 of the laser line-of-sight. When using the R/T tester in a checkout area,
ensure that it is securely clamped to the receiver-transmitter unit before setting the R/T tester switch to FIRE. Laser light
leakage due to improper mounting may cause injury to eyes. Ensure that the light seal on the tester adapter and R/T
tester are correctly mated and that the screws are secured. This procedure will prevent light leakage between the
interface of the R/T tester, the receiver-transmitter unit, and the tester adapter. Post warning signs "WARNING-LASER
LIGHT" and use a countdown procedure if the laser is fired without being covered by the tester as in optical alinement.
The pulse forming network (PFN) may retain high-voltage charges from the 1200 volts developed in the PFN
charge power supply if the dump relay fails. Before working within the transmitter area of the receiver-transmitter unit,
allow 20 seconds after turn-off, then momentarily ground the terminal of the high voltage lead to the housing with a
shorting bar having an insulated handle. If the PFN charge power supply extender cable is used, ground the COIL
terminal of the PFN.

C 1, TM 9-1240-369-34
The storage battery A78B1 can supply enough short circuit current to generate temperatures high enough to
cause metal to fuse together and also cause severe burns. When handling the battery assembly remove all rings from
fingers and do not insert metal objects into the immediate area of the battery assembly.
Ensure that ballistic dust cover is closed and secured by its latch to prevent light leakage which may cause injury
to eyes.
Ensure that power is off when installing or removing units in hot mock-up or installing or removing components or
assemblies in units.
WARNING
Whenever it is desired to real the events counter on the receiver-transmitter unit,
ensure that system power is off prior to opening the casting latch. This will
prevent inadvertent firing of the laser which could cause injury to personnel.
Personnel routinely performing maintenance at the GS and depot level are required
to receive eye examinations in accordance with AR 4046.
DANGEROUS CHEMICALS
Toluol solvent is toxic and flammable. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing
of the vapor. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable. Keep all flammable cleaning material away from open flames. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.
Paints and primers are toxic and flammable. Keep all flammable material away from open flares. Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
Methyl ethyl ketone is toxic and flammable. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged or repeated
breathing of vapor. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. Keep away from heat or open flames.

Section II. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1-3. Description.
The laser range finder is a component of the fire
control system used in conjunction with the M551A1
Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle;
hereinafter referred to as the Sheridan vehicle. The
function of the laser range finder is to improve the first-
round-hit capability of the primary weapon of the
Sheridan vehicle. This function is accomplished by
transmitting a pulse of laser light, receiving reflected light
from the target, and converting the time from
transmission to reception into range data. The range
data is numerically indicated in meters and provides
accurate range information for the weapon crew. Figure
1-1 illustrates the units of the laser range finder.

finder. Paragraph 1-6 defines the purpose of this
section. Paragraph 1-7 contains the system functional
description and system functional block diagrams.

1-6. Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to familiarize personnel

The information presented provides both a basic and a
detailed understanding of the laser range finder and aids
in the troubleshooting and repair of the system.
1-7. System Functional Description.
a. General.
NOTE
Signal nomenclature on all block and
functional diagrams and schematics
expresses the "high" (true) state of
the signal. For example, reset
indicates that the signal level is
"high" when the condition is NOT
reset-that is, when the RESET switch
has not been pressed.
As shown in the block diagram (fig. 1-2) the laser
range finder operates upon control signals generated by
the commanders control and R/T control units. The
commander operates the laser range finder by using the
RANGE and RESET switches. and the azimuth and
elevation controls on the R/T control unit. In addition, a
RTCL ILLUM control on the R/T control unit provides
control of reticle lighting for operations in low light
conditions. On the commanders control unit, the LASER
MODE CONTROL switch, RANGE RETURN
SELECTOR switches, test switch (TSW), and dimmer
(DMR) switch are used. The laser range finder contains
a transmitter that develops and transmits the laser
pulses, a receiver for receiving and converting the
reflected light from the target to electrical signals, data
processing circuits and built-in test circuitry. In addition
to the laser and processing circuits. the system contains
a R/T control unit which provides control over the
receiver-transmitter unit. and a commanders control unit
which controls the system and provides displays for the
operator and a battery power supply unit which provides
additional power for operating the system. As depicted
by figure 1-2, all of the commanders controls are located
on the commanders control and R/T control units. The
laser range finder has four functions; control and display,
power control and generation, transmitting-receiving and
data processing. The control and display function
comprises all circuitry in the commanders control and
R/T control units. The control and display function
consists of the operator controls and indicators and the
malfunction logic which assists in isolating malfunctions
that might occur in the system. The power control and
generation function comprises the battery power supply
unit, preregulator, and two printed circuit cards in the
power supply control unit. These circuits generate -1600
V for the photomultiplier tube (PMT), + 10 v for the light
emitting diodes (readout display), + 15V for biasing and
lights, + 5 V and -5 V for logic circuits, and +29 V for the
automatic gain control (agc) circuitry. Either the tank
power or the battery in the battery power supply unit
supplies the +24 V Q-switch motor power, depending
upon which has the higher voltage. The transmitting-
receiving function develops the laser pulse and converts
the reflected light from the target into a video signal. The
pulse forming network (PFN) charge power supply
charges the PFN so that it can provide the large energy
requirement of the flashtube when it is fired. The PFN
charge power supply applies the fire signal to the
transmitter logic circuit card assembly. The transmitter
logic develops SCR trigger and reset signals and, under
control of the Q-switch magnetic pickup, drives the Q-
switch in the transmitter component assembly. The
1-3
C 1, TM 9-1240-369-34
transmitter component assembly contains the ruby rod
and its flashtube. the transmitter optics (relay prisms,
folding prisms, resonant reflector, and porro prism), and
the recollimating telescope. A rotating relay prism on the
Q-switch actually controls development of the single
"giant" laser pulse, by creating for an instant an optical
resonant cavity (hence, by analogy to a magnetron
cavity, the "Q" term ) while the flashtube is "pumping" the
ruby rod. The resulting laser pulse is transmitted through
two transfer prisms and the scan prism to the target.
The returning pulses from the target are detected by a
photomultiplier tube and processed by the video
amplifier. The data processing function stores range
data for up to three targets that might be detected.
Timing is provided by the A-trigger sensor assembly and
the A-trigger reply utilizes a phototransistor that samples
the laser flash to start the counters. The malfunction
3/buffer logic printed circuit card provides driving circuits
for the A-trigger and video signals and generates a
malfunction 3 signal. The interface circuits provide line
receivers for the test range signal and line drivers for the
A-trigger and video signals. An EVENTS counter in the
receiver-transmitter unit counts each time the laser
flashtube is fired. Data processing is shared among four
printed circuit cards located in the power supply unit:
reply gating, select logic, counter, and an interface card.
The reply gating card counts the replies, gates the video
in response to minimum and maximum range citeria, and
provides range timing by means of a crystal oscillator
and three counters. The reply gating card contains
nearly all circuitry for self-test, including a test oscillator
for development of continuous simulated A-trigger, video.
and reset pulses to enable oscilloscope checks. These
circuits (without the test oscillator) are used in test mode
operation to obtain simulated ranges for readout by
repeatedly pressing the RANGE switch to fill tile counter.
The select logic card controls the three counters. The
counters card contains three identical counter, each of
which consists of three decade counters for storing
binary coded decimal (BCD) ranges in thousands,
hundreds. and tens. A counter is not required for the
units readout indicator, because it registers only 0 or 5.
The counters card also develops overrange and 9995
(counter full) signals used by the select logic and reply
gating. Test circuits within the power supply unit monitor
signals and produce malfunction signals which are
displayed on the RANGE (METERS) indicator when a
malfunction occurs.

Unit and Battery Power Supply Unit Functional
Operation. Figure 1-3 is a functional block diagram of
the receiver-transmitter unit power supply unit and
battery power supply unit.
1-4
TM 9-1240-369-34
(1) Power supply control unit. The power supply
unit consists of the following circuits; PFN charge power
supply, low voltage power supply, --1600 V power supply.
reply gating, select logic, counters, interface circuits,
preregulator, and a pulse forming network. Each circuit
is explained in the following paragraphs.
(a) PFA charge power supply module. The
PFN charge power supply is a plug-in module which
draws a constant current from the power source during
the PFN charge cycle and, after the energy storage
capacitors in the PFN are charged, provides a repeaking
operation to maintain the voltage until the laser is fired.
The charging cycle is controlled by a linear amplifying
charging sense circuit that includes a multivibrator and
four amplifiers. This circuit develops a pulsating, rather
than a continuous. recharging cycle. PFN voltage adjust
(R 10) enables field adjustment of the PFN voltage and,
consequently, the energy that may be stored in the PFN.
If R10 is set for too high an energy level. the laser flash
can be intense enough to severely damage the
transmitting optics; if set too low, insufficient energy will
be directed on the target to permit detection by the
receiver. A thermistor is provided in this circuit to correct
the PFN voltage for laser temperature changes. A high
voltage DC to AC converter functions as a regenerative
oscillator. developing a square-wave output that turns
two power transistors on and off to provide a constant
current PFN charging and repeaking function. The PFN,
consisting of capacitors and inductors is charged to
about + 1200 V. It provides the current and voltage to
maintain the desired duration of flashtube firing. Power
supply protection is provided by a circuit that utilizes a
differential amplifier and silicon controlled rectifier to
prevent excessive current in the power drive by turning it
off before the end of half cycle. or in the event of a short
in the PFN. The circuit also detects high overvoltage
transients and cuts off the power drive to prevent
excessive collector voltage buildup. Further protection is
provided by a differential amplifier that senses
overvoltage and acts through the PFN control logic circuit
to cause the SCR to cut off the power drive. .A dump
relay forms a discharge path for the PFN when power is
removed from the receiver/transmitter unit. to eliminate
the safety hazard of a residual charge. Activation of the
RANGE switch on the R/T control unit initiates the firing
of the laser. The range signal is applied to the fire logic
circuit. which contains a flip-flop driven by the
multivibrator in the charging sense circuit. and a gate to
determine that the PFN is charged, the system has been
manually reset, and the RANGE switch is being pressed.
The gate also ensures the system is not in the test
mode, because it is not desired that the laser actually be
fired during routine testing. If these conditions are all
met, the fire signal is developed. The fire logic applies a
turnoff signal to the PFN control logic to inhibit PFN
charging during the time the laser is fired, and a charged
signal to the range light flasher logic. Prior to firing, the
reset flip-flop causes that logic circuit to apply range light
signals to the red RANGE backlights so that they are
continuously on. When the charged signal is applied
with the manual reset signal, it opens a gate for the
range light oscillator so that the backlights will flash.
This indicates that the laser is ready to fire. After firing, a
reset signal developed in the transmitter logic circuit card
assembly resets the charge logic flip-flop. It cannot
operate subsequently until the reset flip-flop has been
reset by the SCR trigger signal, generated with the firing
of the flashtube, so that it can accept the manual reset
signal generated by pressing the RESET switch, or the
manual reset that occurs when the system is turned on.
The PFN charge power supply also develops +400 V
from the + 1600 V supply for the flashtube trigger circuit.
(b) Bias power supply cards. A DC to DC
converter in the preregulator converts the prime power
from the battery power supply unit to + 15 V. The + 1.5
V is then applied to a regulator whose output is + 10 V.
A DC to DC converter in the low voltage power supply
utilizes a square-loop oscillator to develop + 5, --5. and
+ 29 V from the + 15 V output to the preregulator. Only
the +5 V output of the low voltage power supply is
regulated. The -1600 V power supply converts the + 15
V regulated voltage to -1600 V required for the
photomultiplier tube (PMT) bias network. DC to DC
conversion. with a driven squarewave generator and full-
wave rectification, develops these voltages.
(c) Reply gating card (test circuits). Data
processing begins in the reply gating circuit card
assembly. Some of the circuitry on this card is devoted
exclusively to test circuits. With the LASER MODE
CONTROL switch set to TEST, the laser cannot be fired.
Built-in test circuits in the reply gating card allow
simulated range signals to be processed to verify the
various logic elements. Pressing the R/T control unit
RANGE switch in test mode simulates firing and
processing of one, two, three, or four replies, which are
displayed on the commanders unit RANGE (METERS)
and RETURNS indicators. The simulation logic test
circuitry on the reply gating card develops simulated
video, simulated A-trigger, and simulated reset signals
1-5
C 1, TM 9-1240-369-34
for this purpose. The range-counter generates one step
count each time the RANGE switch is pressed. and
resets itself after the fourth range signal. The video
inhibit circuit contains coincidence circuits to monitor the
range counter output. and generates a signal to inhibit
the maximum range circuits when the number of replies
processed agrees with the number of times the RANGE
switch has been pressed. The test oscillator is not used
in the test mode normally; it is turned on when the power
supply unit cover is removed, thus closing a pressure-
sensitive interlock switch. The oscillator then generates
a pulse train at 1000 prf so that an oscilloscope can be
used for troubleshooting.
(d) Reply gating card (operational circuits).
The operational circuitry of the reply gating card includes
an oscillator, counters, logic and gating circuits. Initial
resetting of all circuits connected to the reset signal bus
is accomplished by a delay circuit, the turn-on reset OR
gate (shared with simulated reset signal and an inverter.
The 10 km monostable multivibrator generates a turn-off
signal for the maximum range gate. At the end of a time
period corresponding to the full capacity of the counters,
it resets the maximum range flip-flop to the inhibit state,
preventing any further video replies from being
processed. It also provides an enabling signal to the
select enable logic. The maximum range flip-flop and
gate circuit is in the normal inhibited state at the start of
any ranging sequence. It is enabled by the A-trigger
signal gated by the output of the reset and malfunction 7
logic, which is on briefly when the reset signal occurs
due to flashtube triggering. Subsequently, it may be
inhibited either by the 10 km gate, or by the 9995 signal
(the "counter full signal developed in the counters circuit
card assembly), or by an inhibit signal applied by the
replies counter when the eight reply has been received.
The minimum range flip-flop and gate circuit is enabled
by the reset pulse gating of the A-trigger signal.
However, it is immediately set to the inhibit state by the
video pulse that is generated by leakage of light back
into the receiver from the transmitter at the time of
transmission, and it remains in the inhibited state long
enough to prevent video generated from backscattered
light from entering the counter start-stop flip-flops. At the
end of the minimum-range period, the minimum range
signal from the counters card changes the state back to
enabled. The enabling minimum range gate and
maximum range gate signals are applied to the video
gate, a four-input NAND gate. One of the inputs is used
only during test to simulate a fourth reply by briefly
interrupting the third video. The fourth input is the video
signal itself (or the simulated video signal if the laser is in
the test model). If the video gate is enabled, video
pulses are passed to the start-stop and binary flip-flop
circuit. This circuit includes three high-speed binary
counters, each controlled by a start-stop flip-flop. The
counting sequence is started by the leading edge of the
leakage video pulse that corresponds to A-trigger
development, not by the A-trigger signal, which simply
sets the start-stop flip-flops to a state of readiness to
begin the counting. This introduces the delay
encountered in the video amplifier and gating system into
the counters. in order to avoid having to compensate for
that delay so that fictitiously long ranges will not be read
out. The three counters count high-frequency pulses
generated by a crystal controlled oscillator. and fed
continuously to the clock pulse inputs of the binary flip-
flops. The outputs of the binary flip-flops are buffered
and applied to the counter card.
(e) Select logic card. The select logic circuit
card assembly contains logic for counter selection. The
reply select logic circuit produces outputs representing
various combinations of the reply count. which are
applied to the select control logic circuit. First, second.
or last signals are applied from the RANGE RETURN
SELECTOR pushbuttons on the commanders control
unit to the select control logic circuit, and compared to
the other inputs to generate a select 1, select 2, or select
3 signal. thus determining which return will be displayed
on the RANGE (METERS) indicator.
(f) Counters card. The counters circuit card
assembly contains the circuitry that counts the clock
pulses during the interval between transmission of the
laser pulse and detection of the reflected replies. The
card contains three identical decade counter circuits with
buffer gates. The three inputs, counter 1, counter 2, and
counter 3 are applied to the correspondingly numbered
counter, causing the counter to count as long as input
pulses are applied. The signals on the three input lines
are terminated in sequence, under control of the counter
gating logic. The outputs of each counter are applied in
BCD form to the commanders control unit for display on
the RANGE (METERS) indicator. Counter 3 contains a
DTL integrated circuit that processes the outputs for the
fourth (units) readout indicator which indicates the
minimum 5-meter increment and therefore needs only
two-state capability (0 and 5). Counter 3 also provides
information for the minimum and overrange logic
circuitry, which generates three outputs used to inhibit
circuits in the reply gating and select logic cards. These
outputs are the overrange signal, developed when the
1-6
TM 9-1240-369-34
range to the target exceeds the systems capacity, the
9995 signal, developed when the counters are full and
the min range signal, developed for a period immediately
after laser pulse transmission in order to close the video
gate to spurious nearby backscattered returns from
surface objects. The test range gate circuit applies a
test range signal to the video amplifier during the test
mode. The reset and malfunction 8 logic circuitry
contains a flip-flop that is set to the malfunction state by
the reset signal, and reset to the nonmalfunction state by
inputs from 100-meter signals from each counter. Thus,
failure of any of the three counters to count results in
generation of a malfunction 8 signal for application to the
digital indicator.
(g) Interface circuit card. The interface circuit
card serves as an interface between the power supply
control unit and the receiver-transmitter unit. The
interface circuit buffers and inverts the A-trigger, video
min range inhibit and test range signals; generates the
malfunction 2 and 4 signals; and generates a +15 V
interlock to prevent the PEN from charging in the test
mode. The interface circuit receives the A-trigger and
video signals from the malfunction 3/buffer logic card
and sends the A-trigger and video signals to the reply
gating circuit. The interface card also receives the reset
signal from the R/T control unit and sends the reset (1)
signal to the counters and reply gating circuits. The reset
(2) signal is sent from the interface card to the PEN
charge power supply.
When the system is operating in the test mode the
test signal comes through transistor Q2 and inhibits the
generation of a +15 V interlock which in turn prevents the
PEN from charging in the test mode.
Malfunction 2 is generated from malfunction 7 and
malfunction 8. Malfunction 7 and malfunction 8 are ORd
together and when either is low, this causes the
commanders control unit MALF light to illuminate and a
"2" readout to be seen on the RANGE (METERS)
indicator showing that a malfunction has occurred in
either the reply gating or counters circuits. Malfunction 4
is generated as a result of fault in the PEN circuit. When
the RANGE switch is activated. the fire signal should
come through and clear the flip-flop circuit (Z, 5). If the
fire signal is not generated, the flip-flop will go high and
cause the MALF light to illuminate, and a "4" readout to
be seen on the RANGE (METERS) indicator.
The test range signal comes in and is buffered and
sent to the malfunction 3 / buffer logic circuit.
(2) Receiver-transmitter unit. The receiver-
transmitter unit consists of the following circuits or
assemblies, transmitter logic, transmitter logic
components, boresight and field stop assembly
photomultiplier, video amplifiers, A-trigger assemblies,
and a malfunction 3/buffer logic card.
(a) Transmitter logic and transmitter logic
component cards. The transmitter logic circuit card
assembly performs these functions: switching for the Q-
switch assembly senses the speed of the Q-switch motor
to provide triggering for the flashtube, and it generates
the SCR-trigger signal for the reset flip-flop and the reset
signal for the fire logic circuit in the PFN charge power
supply. The transmitter logic component assembly
contains the trigger transformer for firing the flashtube.
When the fire signal is applied to the Q-switch power
switch circuit, a return path for the motor is closed and
the motor starts. The motor coasts to a stop when the
fire signal is removed. The Q-switch timing circuit acts in
conjunction with the Q-switch speed sensing circuit to
determine when the motor has increased to the speed
required before firing of the laser can occur. These
circuits compare the fixed-length pulse of a monostable
multivibrator with the time interval of magnetic pickup
pulses from the Q-switch. A linear ramp is generated in
the Q-switch timing circuit, and at the end of the timing
cycle the SCR trigger timing logic circuit, if the Q-switch
speed is high enough, generates a signal that is inverted
and applied to the flashtube trigger SCR. The SCR
trigger timing logic simultaneously generates the SCR
trigger signal.
(b) Transmitter component assembly. The
transmitter component assembly contains the
recollimating transmitter telescope, the Q-switch
assembly, the flashtube and ruby rod, and associated
optics. The flashtube requires two voltages: a high
voltage to fire it and a sustained voltage. Upon firing, the
flashtube trigger SCR dumps + 400 volts stored in a
capacitor through the primary of a transformer. A pulse
of about + 10 kv developed in the secondary in series
with the + 1200 V from the PFN ionizes the gas in the
flashtube and the stored energy in the PFN dumps into
the flashtube sustaining its output until the laser pulse is
generated. An elliptical reflector directs the light from the
flashtube into the ruby rod. which forms an optical
resonant cavity with a reflective porro prism at one end.
two relay prisms with 4.5 degree hypotenuse angles to
fold the beam 180 degrees, and a resonant reflector that
is partially reflective and partially transmissive at the
output end. One of the relay prisms is mounted on the
Q-switch assembly. It is rotated at a specific speed to
govern the precise time of development of the laser
pulse; it serves as a "Q-spoiling" device except for a brief
instant when it is alined to form a resonant optical
1-7
TM 9-1240-369-34
cavity. At this time, in conjunction flashtube firing, a
"giant" pulse of laser energy is emitted through the
resonant reflector and the recollimating transmitter
telescope.
(c) Boresight/field Stop Assembly. Laser
returns are focused by the objective lens into the penta
prism. This prism folds the laser return into the dichroic
beam splitter. A small portion of the laser return is
reflected by the beam splitter through a 0.75 milliradian
field stop and the recollimating lens. This beam is then
folded through the 40 A bandpass filter and
enhancement prism to the PMT. Most of the visible light
return passes straight through the dichroic beam splitter,
reticle, and field lens. This beam then goes through the
derotation prism, and is folded through the safety filter
and into the eyepiece of the boresight telescope.
(d) Photomultiplier chassis. The
photomtultiplier chassis assembly consists of a PMT
assembly and a bias network circuit card assembly. The
PMT assembly includes an enhancement prism that, by
reflecting part of the light among several surfaces, has
the effect of distributing the light over a large portion of
the photosensitive surface of the PMT. The PMT bias
network provides the necessary PMT dynode biasing
and supplies the interface for adding time programmed
gain (tpg) and agc to control the amplification
characteristics of the PMT. Bias voltages as high as
-1600 V are applied to the PMT.
(e) Video Amplifier. The video amplifier
amplifies the small signals from the PMT to the level
needed to drive the logic circuitry in the data processing
function. The video amplifier circuit consists of four
linear amplifier stages with feedback circuitry. These are
followed by a threshold circuit and output driver stage.
An agc sensing circuit applies the agc detected signal to
the age control circuit in the photomultiplier chassis. The
video signal is applied to the reply gating circuit card
assembly. A portion of the transmitted laser beam is
scattered by the scanning prism, through the receiver
optics. to the PMT. The PMT amplifies the light and
applies a signal to the video amplifier. The video
amplifier amplifies the signal to form the A-trigger reply
signal. The A-trigger reply signal establishes zero time
for the range logic.
(f) A-trigger assembly. Data processing
requires that an instant before zero-time, when the laser
transmission pulse is emitted, a signal be generated to
set the counting circuits and enable various gates. This
is done by the A-trigger signal, which is developed by the
A-trigger sensor assembly and the A-trigger component
assembly. The former consists only of a phototransistor
mounted on the A-trigger sensor assembly and is
positioned directly above the space between the
resonant reflector and the transmitter telescope, where
the phototransistor detects a portion of sidescattered
light from the beam when firing occurs. The latter
assembly contains an amplifying stage. The A-trigger
signal is applied to an OR gate shared with the simulated
A-trigger signal in the reply gating circuit card assembly
located in the power supply unit.
(g) Malfunction 3/buffer logic. The
malfunction 3/buffer logic consists of signal drivers,
buffers, and the malfunction 3 fault detection circuit. The
malfunction 3/buffer logic includes drivers for the A-
trigger and video signals enroute to the interface circuit in
the power supply unit, receives the test range signal, and
also buffers the reset signal. The malfunction 3 circuit
consists of a flip-flop which is preset by the fire signal
when the laser is fired. When the laser is fired, the flip-
flop receives the A-trigger signal at the K input and the
video signal at the T input. If the A-trigger and video
signals do not appear, the Q ouput (O) of the flip-flop
stays low and causes the malf 3 signal to be generated.
The manual reset signal clears the flip-flop so the MALF
indicator and the number "3" on the RANGE (METERS)
indicator goes off.
(3) Battery power supply unit. The battery power
supply unit contains a nickel-cadmium battery supply for
use as a backup to the prime power source during
emergency conditions. A fully charged battery supply
alone can provide the capability of 30 ranging pulses at
70 15F and 10 ranging pulses down to a -20F
temperature. Depending on the temperature the battery
is subjected to during the charging process, charging to
capacity times will vary. At -25 F the charging circuitry
is deactivated by a temperature sensing transducer
(thermostatic switch) and the battery will not receive a
charge. This is done to protect the nickel-cadmium cell
from damage. To charge the battery whenever this
-25F low temperature condition exists for extended
periods of time, the battery power supply unit must be
removed and allowed to temperature stabilize above
-25F before being charged.
NOTE
The manufacture recommendation as
to the number of complete charge-
discharge cycles permissible for this
battery is approximately 100 life
cycles. Battery power supply unit
batteries approaching this limit may
exhibit some signs of deterioration by
not holding a full charge for their
nominal between-charge time.
In operation this battery power source takes over
when tank voltage falls below the + 18.0 V minimum
1-8
TM 9-1240-369-34
required for operation of the laser system. Such drops in
voltage may occur in operation because of heavy
transient loads. The battery power supply unit consists
of a power control circuit, a low voltage transient control
circuit, the battery, the battery charge sensing circuit, a
battery charger circuit, and a battery charger malfunction
circuit. The power control circuit receives the +24.0 v
prime power from the tank via relay K1. The battery
consists of 24 cells which supply + 29.0 volts to the
system. The battery is charged by the battery charger
circuit whenever vehicle power is applied to the system.
The low voltage transient control circuit detects when the
battery power supply unit should be switched in as the
primary power source for the laser range finder. Vehicle
battery voltage below approximately + 22.0 V is
insufficient to bring the Q-switch in the transmitter
component assembly to full speed. Therefore, the +
24.0 V Q-switch line is connected through diodes in the
power supply control circuit to both the battery and the
vehicle power line, so that the source with the higher
voltage always drives the Q-switch.
The BAT LOW lamp on the front of the commanders
control unit indicates (lights) when the battery voltage
drops below approximately +24.0 V. Momentary high
current loads, such as charging the PFN, can cause the
BAT LOW lamp to light. As soon as the battery voltage
recovers to a voltage above approximately + 24.0 V.
The BAT LOW lamp goes out. If the condition is allowed
to continue, it can reduce the battery life and negate the
emergency capability of the battery power supply unit.
However, when operating at below 0F temperatures and
the BAT LOW lamp lights, it is permissible to range 10
times prior to recharging. The BAT LOW indication does
not mean that the system will not function properly.
However, it is recommended that the battery be charged
at the first opportune time. The MALF 1 indication shows
that the battery charging circuit is not operating properly
or that the battery temperature has fallen below -25 F.
The battery charging circuit malfunction circuit Q3 and
Q5 detects a malfunction either in the battery charging
circuit or as a temperature indication and causes the
MALF lamp to light. The BAT DR lamp warns that the
laser range finder battery power supply unit battery is
supplying the power to operate the system. Continued
use of the system with the BAT DR lamp lighted will
negate the emergency capability of the battery power
supply unit.
(c) Commanders Control Unit and R/T Control
Unit Functional Operations. The commander's control
and R/T control units functional diagram is illustrated in
figure 1-4.
(1) Commanders control unit. The commander's
control unit consists of the following circuits or
assemblies logic circuit card, readout circuitry assembly
and an electronic component assembly. The
commander's control unit provides the display status for
the operator.
(a) Logic circuit. The logic circuit card consist
of the circuitry for the RANGE RETURN SELECTOR
switches, the MALF indicator and test (TSW) switch.
Then one of the RANGE RETURN SELECTOR switches
is activated, this generates the appropriate range select
signal. For example. if the RANGE RETURN
SELECTOR 1 switch is activated, the first signal is
generated and sent to the select logic in the power
supply unit. The RANGE RETURN SELECTOR 1 switch
is illuminated indicating which switch was activated. The
RANGE RETURN SELECTOR switches are momentary
pushbutton type and each has lamp drivers with a
latching circuit. The malfunction logic consists of hex
inverters which displays the appropriate malfunction
number (1, 2, 3 or 4) on the RANGE (METERS) indicator
depending on what malfunction has occurred. The logic
circuit also contains the circuitry for the TSW switch
which tests to see if the indicators on the front panel are
functioning properly (see table 2-1).
(b) Readout circuit. The BCD ranges are
applied to the readout circuit (Z1 thru Z8). Also, the
range returns are applied to this circuit. The readout
circuit consists of the decoder/driver circuits and
numerical readouts. There is a decoder/driver circuit and
an numeric display for each readout on the RANGE
(METERS) indicator and also for the RETURNS
indicator. There are tour indicators (units, tens,
hundreds and thousands) for the RANGE (METERS)
indicator and one indicator for the RETURNS indicator.
The numeric display has seven segments, each segment
consisting of several diodes. Each display is a red
numeric display (0 thru 9). The decoder/driver circuit
provides the appropriate input code for the display
desired. The decoder/driver circuit contains seven
drivers suitable for driving the readout. The drivers are
controlled by a BCD decoding network which receives
and processes the range and return signals and displays
them on the indicators.
(c) Commanders control unit outputs. The
outputs from the commander's control unit are the
following signals: test, manual reset, manual reset select,
first, second. and last. The test and test signals set
logic circuits for the selected mode of operation. The
1-9
TM 9-1240-369-34
reset signals are split in two; the latter, manual reset
select, is applied only to the set logic card. The last
three signals (first, second. and last) control the counter
selection logic circuits.
(2) R/T control unit. The R/T control unit consists of
two switches. RANGE and RESET, with backlighted
indicators. The RANGE switch is a pushbtutton type
switch which fires the laser. The RESET switch is also a
pushbutton type switch that resets the system prior to the
next ranging sequence after any ranging operation. The
RESET switch has to be activated before the transmitter
canbe fired after the initial firing allowing system turn-on.
The R/T control unit also has two control knobs, azimuth
and elevation. These controls are used to center the
telescope on the target. A RTCL ILLUM control is
provided to light the telescope reticle for low light
operations.
1-8. System Self-Test Function Theory.
a. General. The laser range finder contains two
categories of self-test circuitry. Malfunctions in four
specific area of the system are monitored during the
operational mode --ON-- to provide indications of trouble
to the vehicle crew, and general clues to the trouble area
to the turret mechanic as well as the crew. The
malfunction circuitry provides the capability to isolate
problems which occur in the system. Certain
malfunctions are automatically detected. Then the MALF
light is illuminated the type of malfunction will be
indicated on the last numeral of the range (meters)
indicator. Malfunction indications and probable troubles
are assigned as follows:
MALF 4 (Power Sup- PFN Over charge
ply Control Unit) PMT High Voltage
PFN Charge (fire signal)
MALF 3 (receiver- A-Trigger and A-Trigger
transmitter unit) Reply
MALF 2 (Iower Sup- Reply gating and
ply control Unit) Counters
MALF 1 (Battery Battery charger
power supply unit)
(after lasing MALF 1 will not be present until
RESET switch on R/T control unit is pressed)
The second category of self-test circuitry is used in the
test mode of operation; to provide comprehensive
simulation of firing the laser and receiving up to four
replies without actually transmitting a laser beam.

Section II. TROUBLESHOOTING
2-5. General.
The troubleshooting procedures described in this
section consist of fault isolation within the major units to
modules, printed circuit cards and assemblies, and their
replacements. All troubleshooting procedures in the
section may be performed at direct support with the
exception of troubleshooting the receiver-transmitter unit
(para 2-11) which is to be performed at general support
only. Also included as part of the direct and general
support maintenance function is the PFN adjustment.
Because of this adjustment, it is required that the
receiver-transmitter unit and power supply control unit be
replaced as a pair. Schematic and wiring diagrams for
the units of the laser range finder and their components
are contained in figures 2-7 thru 2-37 to aid in
troubleshooting. Extender cards and test cables which
are provided as part of special tools and test equipment
are used to fault isolate down to the replaceable item.

2-6. Receiver-Transmitter Check and Adjustment.
CAUTION
Adjustment tool inserted into PFN
ADJ access port shall be of an
electrically insulating material to
prevent possible damage to
equipment resulting from tool
contacting exposed voltage point.
Excessive transmitter energy density
may damage the coating on the
receiver-transmitter unit optical
elements.
a. General. The transmitter energy, which may be
altered by adjusting the PFN current, is to be checked
every 5,000 rangings. In addition, whenever there is a
requirement that the receiver-transmitter unit or the
power supply control unit be replaced or repaired, the
PFN current must be adjusted to produce the proper
transmitter energy. The R/T tester and the PFN charge
ammeter check the transmitter energy, receiver
sensitivity, and the PFN current. The following
procedure is to be performed by securing the tester
adapter and R/T tester to the receiver-transmitter unit
and interconnecting the PFN charge ammeter, and R/T
tester to the power supply control unit.

Use a camel hair brush to remove loose
particles of dust and lint from glass surfaces. Then.
wipe the surface in a circular motion using lens tissue-
either dry or moistened with methyl or ethyl alcohol. If
dirt, lint. or smears remain on the glass, wrap a piece of
lens tissue around the end of an orange stick (or
equivalent) to form a swab. Beginning at the center of
the surface, swab with a (circular motion while applying a
light downward pressure. Gradually increase the radius
of the area being cleaned until the entire surface has
been covered. If necessary, use a rubber syringe to
blow off any remaining dust or lint.
(4) Other. Use a dry rag to remove loose dirt,
dust or debris. Flush off caked mud using clean water.
c. Cleaning Procedures for Cold Weather
Operation.
(1) If the temperature is below 320 F, add
glycerin to cleaning water. This will prevent it from
freezing on the part being cleaned and possibly
preventing normal operation of the laser system.
(2) Alcohol, applied with a lens tissue, may be
used to clean glass surfaces if dry lens tissue does not
work satisfactorily.
CAUTION
The optical elements of the laser
range finder are coated. Do not rub
glass surfaces with rags or other
materials that might scratch the
coated surfaces and thereby degrade
system performance.
(3) If moisture has frozen on glass surfaces,
apply deicer or place the unit in a warm area until the ice
melts. Then pat dry the surface with clean absorbent
wiping rag. Clean with lens tissue when the surface is
dry.
d. Inspection.
(1) Conduct a visual inspection of unit
housings and attaching hardware to make sure that all
units are in good condition. Ensure that no moisture is
trapped around the area of the window and ballistic dust
cover on the receiver-transmitter unit.
(2) Replacement units should be substitute for
those found to be damaged or worn near or beyond
serviceable limits. Dirt, grease, and foreign matter
should be removed from all inspected surfaces.
Preservatives and foreign matter should be removed
from electrical connectors. Areas in which the paint is
scratched, chipped, or worn should be repainted.
Maintenance tasks which are not authorized for the DS
and GS maintenance personnel should be referred to the
responsible maintenance activity.
(3) During the visual inspection, the laser
range finder is completely assembled and checked for its
mechanical operating capability. After completion of the
visual inspection. the system self-test is performed to
insure the serviceability of the entire system.
(4) The complete inspection is performed for
an initially received laser range finder system to insure
that it is not damaged. This inspection, including the
system self-test, is also performed weekly to make sure
the system is maintained in a state of operational
readiness.
e. General Painting Instructions. Visually inspect
unit housings and attaching hardware for rust or
corrosion and missing, chipped or blistered paint. Small
areas of damaged paint may be touched lip as part of
user preventive maintenance. When painting with a
brush, apply the paint as issued or after thinning with not
more than 5 percent by volume of thinner.
CAUTION
Optical elements, bearings, rubber, or
other components which might be
damaged by cleaning, masking or
paint must be removed from the units
before proceeding.

Those masters of search engine mani&ulation ma%e sure that their sites that

They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
